Another example, IBM announced they were creating a "next-generation" xlc C/C++ compiler using LLVM. But I am not sure the status of that [1]. Oracle has their own C compiler, not LLVM, but I am not sure of anyone that actually uses it [2]. I have compiled GNU Coreutils with it, so it seems usable at least.
